It's not fuel prices that's going to kill the boat market

Think small No thanks. Thinking small is for the unmotivated in life. You think that because someone has a boat that they really like, although it may be smaller than yours is "unmotivated"? Do you think that just because someone isn't financially overextended is "unmotivated"? I think that people who overextend just for appearances are fools. bk, do you think that NOYB was trying to be controversial in his statement? Maybe he was just saying how *he* feels about life, and not passing any judgements on others. Why the attacks? It's a nice Sunday...chill out. -- No, John, he certainly was, and always has, passed judgements on others. I'm discussing only the post you responded to, not the past few years. I'm surprised that you'd take a philosophical comment like, "Thinking small is for the unmotivated in life" as a personal attack or the passing of judgement on you. -- ****************************************** ***** Hope your day is great! ***** ****************************************** John Since I was the one who advised to "think small", I thought NOYB was jabbing at me. Maybe I should have said 'think modestly'. Obviously some here have no need to even consider that, but I stand by my common sense advice. Nah. He came back with a bit of philosophy to counteract the bit you gave him. He's already bought his boat, so 'thinking small' wouldn't work for this one anyway. Thinking small is what I'm doing for my *next* boat - maybe a 17-18'er. It's actually what I'm thinking for my next boat too. Instead of having a 30 foot offshore boat, and 17' nearshore/inshore boat, I'm thinking about buying something in the 25-26 foot range to replace both boats. I could get a trailer for it, and tow it to the keys or the east coast for a change of scenary. Thinking small is for the unmotivated. |
